If this is true, then, i think they are giving this guy a second chance, and he better make the best use of it
Second Chance ke? He is being vindicated. He did nothing wrong and i stand by my oppionion. Can any one prove that any of those he prosecuted was innocent? Unless someone brings prove not allegation that he witch hunted an innocent man, leave Ribadau Alone, he worked his head off for Nigeria, we say we want change but people try to work we bring them down with our arm chair criticism.
This is not a fight just give me evidence of one innocent person Ribadau prosecuted as EFCC Chair, dont give me the tired aruguement that he was used, Give me evidence or else, let the guy enjoy his vidnication

Absolutely

The CCT should have even declared him innocent. Justice Constance Momoh admitted to haven seen Ribadu's asset declaration forms but for some curious reasons says Ribadu must be present in order to declare him innocent . You would think they would appologise to Ribadu for wasting his time and immediately strike out the case rather than trying to waste his time further by inviting him to court.

But I guess such sanity is too much to ask of the Nigerian system

When i said second chance, i mean:
He had the opportunity to bring down some powerful people in govt, he failed.
Now he might have the chance to do something for the nation and not fear the cabals

Well he had more opportunity to bring down IBB too

But fight against corruption is not about who Ribadu can bring down but see my previous post from another thread where I highlighted what I think Ribadu should have learnt from his experience. I do not subscribe to the spin about selectivity. I don't agree with it one bit. It is my view that Ribadu did his job to the best of his ability, but the truth is that if we round up Ibori, IBB and co without doing some things systematically we will still not make progress.

I think we should now focus on what we can build not who we can pull down

RIBADU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope he has learnt something though from his previous experience. This fight against corruption this time should be focused on strategic issues as opposed to locking people up. I supported Ribadu all the way but the fact that his records could be so mis-represented just within a shortwhile of leaving office calls for reflection.

I think his next chapter should be more focused on establishing information gathering institutions and record bureaus. Standardizing Government procurement processes so that they are traceable and any ministry that refuse to adhere to them will have some explanation to do.

Create a sustainable enviroment that supports co-operate fight against corruption not one that depends only on the magnificient valor of one man. The Fight against corruption will have to evolve at the pace of the society. An Anti-Corruption war too fast for the corrupt Nigerian system may fail again just like his previous wonderful attempt.

Let us focus more on whether we are making relative progress in terms of infrastructural development instead of how many people we can lock up as a result of the fight against corruption.

He was a great officer and I love him anytime anyday.

Inasmuch as i do agree with you that there is need for us to focus on building the nation, as long as we continue to recycle all those junks of a leader, there is nothing to build.
BTW . . . when i mention OBJ, i never said, he was the only one, but he was the latest one that to get his dealings with the devil shd not be too hard to trace

It would have being a welcomed development, only if it was REAL and not April fool.
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by Rmc1(m): 4:41am On Apr 02, 2010
^^^^   its for real its not april foo,l its all over in the newspapers and radio.

@ topic i am so happy that ribadu has been vindicated i always knew that he was witch hunted by the cabal but now he has been vindicated its time for uncle jonathan to do the right thing and put ribadu back where he  rightly belongs as the  chairman of EFCC  YESSSSS OHHHH!!!
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by software(m): 7:12am On Apr 02, 2010
The acting president is driving at something for himself. The power of twisting, Goodluck Enemies are in trouble if Ribadu is back there, God Help naija. Take it or leave it, they know what they are doing and i am certain that it is not in the best interest of the people of naija, other than for their own selfish desires.
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by igeluma: 12:57pm On Apr 02, 2010
God shall not allow his own to suffer,if the story is true,Ribadu should be send back to EFFC to complete the job
he started,corrupt leaders should leave the stage for good governance,you are welcome,you have been vindicated.

INEC will be a very good place as Election is drawing nearer.
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by chidichris(m): 8:47am On Apr 04, 2010
ribadu shld be careful. he did it and run away the first time, maybe this time arround, he will not have his ways.
all these round abouts are nothing but the skillful coming back to full powers of the authocratic ruler(obasanjo).
i want to believe here that nigerians are getting wiser by the day and another ribadu can lead nigeria into something very difficult this time arround.
the yar adua mystery sickness and treatment is the reasons for all these.
obasanjo is a good stage manager and everything is going well according to his plans but God will surely see us through.

Why are some people soooo very scared of Ribadu? The man was only doing his job, Now he can finish where he was being obstructed. Obstruction of a Police Officer while carrying out his lawful duties, criminal intimidation, and felonious attempted homicide against an officer of law are some beginning charges that I can think of. Welcome back Brotha Nuhu Ribadu, we missed you very much as you were indeed motivation for our return home from diaspora.!!!!

All those people that are scared of Ribadu should investigated. FG should set up panel to look into the way he was treated, before he ran away.
The Inspector General of P0lice should be called to explain where he got order from. If we get those one then they can be thoroughly Investigated.
There must be skeleton in their Combord.

Now He is ready for His new Appointment.
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by SuperT(m): 12:33pm On May 01, 2010
Can he be call now to Head INEC?
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by chidichris(m): 4:07pm On May 01, 2010
wow! the wisdom many of us have expressed here is reflecting in our country.
the coming of ribadu and that of el rufai shld be completed with the release of bode george and automatic approval of third term.
up obasanjo, the best president nigeria has ever seen.
someone mark my words, the coast is not as clear as it seems. ribadu might not find it as easy as before.
can someone tell me who ribadu is coming to harrass now that nigeria is a one party system of govt? can someone tell me who will enter his problems now that everyone is loyal to obasanjo?
let us watch out as i sense an anti christ coming out of this joke.
Re: Breaking News - FG Drops All Charges Against Ribadu. by SuperT(m): 10:07pm On May 01, 2010
Why FG droped all charges against Ribadu for the first place? Is becouse they saw all those charges as way of sent him away from Government.

But the other examples you gave is clear ofense commited.
